Apr 2, 2007 Growler consumed during today’s baseball Opening Day festivities. A wonderful companion. Pours a clear burnished copper color with a heady cap of light tan froth. Lazy carbonation. Modest lacing. Aromas are mainly comprised of moist, dark, artisanal breads. Bready as can be. Some earthy hops sneak in. Flavors give the palate a solid caramel malt base along with more grainy bread. Wet dough. Crisp hop bite; just enough to make each sip finite. A smidge of hard mineral water kick. Solid mouthfeel; much more oomph than in other bland reds. A good drinker, as the growler was drained by the 7th inning of this afternoon’s 12-5 Cleveland victory.

Mar 31, 2007 Had a half pint at the brewery when I was picking up my grolwers of sexual chocolate last weekend. This a well-hopped irish/red ale. Simple to drink, smooth, and downright tasty. I could drink a few of these, easy. Thanks Jamie for hooking it up with the growlers and giving me a (beer) reason to stay in NC!

Mar 31, 2007 I just finisheda growler of this solid, somewhat hoppy red ale and I am extremely impressed by its balance. Piney bitterness up front is completely justified by a wonderful maple and caramel malty backbone. Hooray for well done simple brews!

Mar 23, 2007 Had this St. Patty’s Day brew from Foothills. Is it wrong for me to add this? I believe my description to be accurate. Just wanted to rate it....Not a big fan of Red Ales. I find them to be a pretty uninteresting style. This beer, however, didn’t have that nasty tap water bitterness flavor. A very solid offering for the style. I’m Irish. I love St. Patty’s Day and I couldn’t wait to taste Jamie’s creation. Wish more "Irish Red" beers had such a subtle malt and hop balance. Very nice.
